Dream Team bosses backing the wrong horse in Brennan Johnson while James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski thrive

ONLY Chelsea have scored more Premier League goals than Tottenham this season. In fact, the Blues and league-leaders Liverpool are the only teams that boast a better goal difference than Spurs' +17 right now. And yet Ange Postecoglou's side are only tenth in table, level on points with Brentford and Newcastle in 11th and 12th respectively, such is their frustrating nature.

Spurs are arguably the most curious team in the land at present, capable of outplaying any opponent on their day but also liable to inexplicable slip-ups. Their inconsistent nature causes headaches for Dream Team managers but the strength of their attack means there are plenty of points on offer most Gameweeks.

Certainly that was the case on Sunday when the North Londoners waltzed to a 5-0 victory over Southampton at St Mary's. Spurs could have inflicted more damage on Saints but opted to conserve energy in a goalless second half. James Maddison (£4.5m) and Son Heung-min (£5.2m) were the biggest beneficiaries as they banked 19 points each - both were directly involved in three of the five goals.

The former has amassed 56 points in seven outings since the start of Gameweek 12 while the latter has gone one point better in the same time frame, despite not looking his best. Dejan Kulusevski (£3.6m) also took advantage of Southampton's porous defence to score in his third consecutive game.
